Ombre Nail Design in Beachy Colors
Ombre nail art is obviously huge, so – why not create a fun ombre beach design using beachy colors? Try colors like sandy yellow and blue, or sunset colors like orange and hot pink, or teal and cream. Whatever you do, be sure you use two contrasting colors – it makes it much more fun.

If you just don’t have the time to sit and indulge in painting your nails for an hour or more, you can always choose to keep it simple. Opt for one solid color, or you could even go in with a clear coat and paint each nail that way.  

White Nails to Accentuate Tan
White nails are always a summer go-to when you’re pressed for time. They look chic, and also make your hands and toes look tan. You can choose different shades of white, or even a super light pink-white color. Mix a drop of your favorite polish with some white to create a tinted white hue that you will adore.
